From the earthquake series, no significant damage with at least one size was reported, which is barely perceptible to people who sit quietly inside, in the Japanese seven -point seismic intensity.
“Seismic activity has increased. Since this region has experienced a longer period of earthquake in the past, be alert against the earthquake that causes strong fraying,” said the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA).
